  • The Lands of Kincaid in Relation to the Highlands of Scotland
    Peter Anthony Kincaid The lands of Kincaid in relation to the Highlands of Scotland. The physical boundary between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Scotland is the Highland boundary fault. The Highland boundary fault creates a visible change in the geology of the land. The fault comes ashore from the river Clyde near Helensburgh and continues in a north east direction towards Aberfoyle. It continues north east all the way to near Stonehaven on the coast of the North Sea.1 The islands of Inchmurrin, Creinch, Torrinch, and Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond all form visible parts of the Highland boundary Fault.2 The lands of Kincaid are at best about 15.3 English miles or about 24.6 kilometres from this fault (if one takes a direct line from the intersection of Campsie Road and Milton Road to summits north east of Conic Hill). Without doubt the lands of Kincaid are physically in Lowland Scotland. Some may argue that people may have considered a different boundary with regards to what one considered a Highlander. The evidence does not support this. It is not until the 1716 penal laws established against the Highlanders that this author could locate any official boundary. In what we refer to as the Disarming Act of 1716, the western bounds were established as "within the Shires of Dumbarton on the North-side of the Water of Leven, Stirling on the North-side of the River of Forth."3 At that time, Scots must have understood the Highlands to be north of the River Forth and north of the river Leven.

  • Written Submission from Falkirk Council – Petition Pe1102
    PE1102/F WRITTEN SUBMISSION FROM FALKIRK COUNCIL – PETITION PE1102 1. Background 1.1 Falkirk Council, like many local authorities, is strongly opposed to the closure of post offices in the Falkirk Council area. The Council recognises the important social function that post offices have, and that for many individuals in our communities, the post office functions as the main village or local shop. These facilities are used largely by elderly people, people with young children and those with mobility problems to purchase essential items. 1.2 The Council has for a number of years used post offices to provide services such as rent collection etc. Since 1979, Falkirk Council has supported the local area Post Office Network through the facility for tenants to make payment of rent at post offices. This was extended to include council tax payments in 1996. Our contract is with the Alliance & Leicester. Payments are made through a service known as 'BillPay'. Payments are made using plastic payment cards issued by Falkirk Council which can be used to pay rent and/or council tax at the Council's One-Stop-Shops and any post office in the UK. This method of payment is 1 of 7 options that are available to our customers. 1.3 As a result of the development of more efficient and convenient methods of payment, e.g. by Direct Debit, via the Web and by telephone, and the reduction in the Council's housing stock through the right to buy, the number of payment transactions made at post offices has reduced year on year over the past 10 to 15 years.
